Simone van der Merwe, \u2019n gr. 9-leerder aan die HMS Bloemhof, het die afgelope naweek aan die Wes-Kaap se Biathle\/Triathle-kampioenskap deelgeneem en twee goue medaljes in die o.17-afdeling verower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biathle\/Triathle bestaan uit \u2019n kombinasie van swem, hardloop en laserskiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hiermee kwalifiseer sy vir die SA kampioenskap, wat van 23 tot 24 September in Gauteng plaasvind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie prestasie is niks nuuts vir Simone nie. Sy het reeds in 2018 aan die w\u00eareldkampioenskap in Egipte deelgeneem en vier goue medaljes en een silwermedalje verower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het ook in 2021 by dieselfde kompetisie in Duitsland twee goue medaljes in die individuele items verower. Simone het verlede jaar aan die Biathle\/Triathle-w\u00eareld\u00adkampioenskap in Madeira, Portugal, deelgeneem en ses goue medaljes gewen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
